Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir, — I have been thinking sometime of writing to you to see if there was any way of finding out any thing about my grandfather John Fuller, a revolutionary soldier, whose widow, Betsy Fuller drew a pension until her death in March 1848, her home at this time was at Limestone, Catt. Co., N.Y.
I would like to find out what colony, or state he entered the army from and anything pertaining to the place of his birth or parents names.
I could think of no other way only through the pension department.
hoping to hear from you in due time
I remain respectfully
